The Prophet Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Another three games in a week coming up. Spurs, Everton and Southampton. Should be aiming for 7 points as a minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 7. If we beat Spurs, then it would jump to a 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fountain Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I'm the first to go with 9. We play 4 of the currentl bottom 5, and Chelsea. Spurs, there for the taking Arsenal, let 2-0 leads slip twice in the last week. Brighton, toughest game, however they have lots of tough games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 So to break it down over the next week we have: Newcastle - Spurs (h), Everton (a), Southampton (h) Spurs - Newcastle (a), Man United (h), Liverpool (a) Brighton - Forest (a), Wolves (h) Villa - Brentford (a), Fulham (h), Man United (a) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 There's 7 fixtures left that HAVE to result in our rivals dropping points in. In no particular order: MU - Villa Spu - MU Villa - Spu Villa - Brig Liv - Villa Brig - MU Liv - Spu We're several points ahead of ALL of them and have games in hand on 2 of them and we've played a game more than 2 of them. If it comes down to it our GD is also better than all of them too. We play Spurs and Brighton both at home too obviously. I'm just struggling to see how none of them drop enough points for us not to make it. I thought the %s from Opta and 538 seemed a bit big but atm we've got a bit of wiggle room tbh. I'll go 7.2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 It’s just fucking class being so invested in it all again, to be honest. July 2019 - 6/10/21 I barely gave a fuck that we played, let alone won. Games like yesterday happen at least once a season to 99% of teams, you just have to hold your hands up and accept you took a hiding. Fair play to Villa, they look a quality side. But I think everyone - especially Howe - would have taken 15 points from the 18 available in our last 6. We are no worse off than we were at 12:29 Saturday thanks to Bournemouth. Write it off and move on. 5/8 games at home. 3 away to Everton, Leeds and a shit Chelsea. It’s very much in our hands and I trust the lads to get the job done. As I’ve said in previous posts, the biggest match I can remember at that sexy cunt of a stadium is 7 days away. Beat them and go 6 clear of 5th with a game in hand, with 7 games to go. If someone had told me this in September 2021 I’d have asked for a couple off of whatever they were smoking. Howay the fucking lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Southampton and Leicester at home are as nice fixtures as you could want at this stage of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Maybe looking ahead a little and this is in no way aimed at Gordon’s ability, but I’d be leaving him out the squad for the game at Goodison. Everton’s best chance is to get the crown on side and Gordon being there would guarantee that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also got a boatload of injuries, a fixture pileup and Harry Maguire now starting games. They're absolutely still in the mix for CL football.
